FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We had this folder on the computer with Pin-Up shots for the next coming months. But for some reason that Pin-Up folder is gone and we're back to zero. Guys, we need your help. BMX bike, girl, camera, got it!? Make it happen. We stole this one from Cream magazine which gives you a good idea of what we're after. Have fun out there. Make the girls famous.

Did you notice that the colors pink and purple are hot these days? Issue # 28 of the International BMX lifestyle magazine has an old school theme to it and like everything in life things go full circle. Back to the bright colors of the mid-eighties, back to track stands on the cover on a GT Performer with fold-out pegs, caliper brakes, and A'me grips. Gotta love it. The May/June issue of Cream goes "Back to the Converse 1988" and brings some awesome shots of Miami Hoppers, Nourie handstands and bunny hops. But it's not only about the old school, the FISE contest brought out the latest tricks this year from riders such as Dave Mirra, Chase Hawk, Alessandro Barbero, Mike Spinner, Maxime Charveron, Daniel Dhers, Mark Webb and more. Plenty of photos about the event in this issue. But Cream brings you more; Trip to Colombia, the introduction of REDBULL in France (it was about time), Portfolio by Sergio Layos, the Koxx days, Marseille bowl (still rules), Obey portfolio, a story on Cuba

Starting a shop is not an easy task. When you travel the world and are a pro rider it makes it even harder. Nigel Sylvester has had some great help pulling this creation off. Time for some questions.

You recently started a BMX Boutique in New York, how did that come about?
Nigel: Well basically the opportunity arose and I figured it could be a great situation and I jumped on it. 

The Shadow Conspiracy has a feature about their involvement with the Nike "lighting bolt" Number plate art show on their website.
